  • Google Working To Fix Ongoing Search Rankings Glitch |

    New Delhi: Google on Friday informed about an ongoing problem with Search rankings that is impacting a large number of search results, as the company was working on a fix to resolve the issue. 

    The company said in an update that they are actively working on the fix. The tech giant has identified the root cause of this issue and confirmed that it is unrelated to the ongoing August core update.

    In an update on X social media platform, the company said that “there an ongoing issue with ranking in Google Search that’s affecting a large number of search results”.

    “We’ve identified the root cause. This issue is unrelated to the ongoing core update rollout announced yesterday. We’re working on a fix,” Google informed.

    The issue, said the company, is unrelated to the ‘August 2024 core’ update rollout and the “next update will be within 12 hours”.

    The ‘August 2024 core’ update will take about a month to fully roll out for users. The update takes into account the feedback and aims to promote useful content from small and independent publishers.

    “We launched our August 2024 core update to Google Search. This update is designed to continue our work to improve the quality of our search results by showing more content that people find genuinely useful and less content that feels like it was made just to perform well on Search,” according to the company.

    The latest update takes into account the feedback it has heard from some creators and others over the past few months.

    As always, “we aim to connect people with a range of high-quality sites, including ‘small’ or ‘independent’ sites that are creating useful, original content on relevant searches. This is an area we’ll continue to address in future updates.” Said the tech giant.

    After the update was rolled out, a tremendous amount of Google search ranking volatility was observed.

  • ChatGPT Maker OpenAI Launches New Search Engine ‘SearchGPT’ To Take On Google Search; Here’s How It Works |

    New Delhi: OpenAI, an artificial intelligence company behind the chatbot ChatGPT, has finally launched its AI search engine called SearchGPT. With this, the Microsoft-backed AI chatbot Open AI will try to take on Google Search. The new feature is currently in the ‘prototype’ stage which is accessible to only a small group of users. 

    The company plans to integrate its capabilities into ChatGPT in the near future. It is important to note that tech companies have been exploring various use cases of generative AI that could be integrated into the everyday tech ecosystem of users since the unveiling of ChatGPT in 2022. 

    In a blog post about the new search feature, OpenAI wrote, “We’re testing SearchGPT, a prototype of new search features designed to combine the strength of our AI models with information from the web to give you fast and timely answers with clear and relevant sources.” 

    What is OpenAI SearchGPT? 

    SearchGPT is an AI-powered search engine designed to provide direct answers to your queries. Instead of traditional search results, you simply enter what you’re looking for into a large search box, and you receive a detailed, step-by-step response, complete with related images.

    How Does OpenAI SearchGPT Works? 

    Understanding the Query: The system uses AI, specifically Natural Language Processing (NLP) and in-house GPT Large Language Models, to grasp the context and intent behind your query.

    Generating the Answer and Scanning Web Results: It formulates an appropriate answer by scanning web results to gather relevant information.

    Summarizing Information with Source Links: The system summarizes the relevant web results and provides links to the sources next to each piece of information.

    Sidebar for Related Results: Additional related results with source links are conveniently available in a sidebar for further exploration.

    Interactive Chatbot Interface and Future Integration: Interactions occur in a chatbot-like interface, allowing follow-up questions and conversations. This functionality will be integrated into ChatGPT in the future for easier access.
